FMS co-organizes the 2nd International Conference on Molecular Systems Engineering ICMSE 2019 in Nijmegen on August 18-20. We will bring together world leaders in the field and share exciting science and ideas. The highlight of the week will be the presentation of the 2019 Netherlands Awards for Supramolecular Chemistry given to Prof. Chad Mirkin and […]
Wilhelm Huck and coworkers publish in Nature Chemistry, Congratulations!
Prof. Wilhelm Huck and coworkers publish on the catalytic transport of molecular cargo using diffusive binding along a polymer track in Nature Chemistry. While lowering the mobility of molecules would intuitively lead to lower reaction rates, they show here that binding reactive molecules to polymeric tracks increases reaction rates by orders of magnitude. The […]

ERC Starting Grant for Sander Wezenberg
Sander Wezenberg (RUG) has been awarded with an European Research Council (ERC) Starting Grant. The ERC awards these prestigious personal grants of EUR 1.5 million to excellent researchers in order to stimulate groundbreaking research in Europe. The title of the scientific reasearch is: “From light-stimulated anion receptors to transmembrane carriers and pumps”. More information about ERC Starting […]
Wilhelm Huck and coworkers publish in Nature Nanotechnology
Prof. Wilhelm Huck and dr. Evan Spruijt (RU) and coworkers publish on dissipative adaptation in driven self-assembly in Nature Nanotechnology. They show that open compartments are used to modulate the rates of dissipative self-assembly by restricting the absorption of energy from the environment. This might eventually provide a general route to dissipatively adapting nanosystems exhibiting […]
Gerard Roelfes and coworkers publish in Nature Chemistry
Prof. Gerard Roelfes (RUG) and coworkers publish an article in Nature Chemistry on the creation of designer enzyme for hydrazone and oxime formation featuring an unnatural catalytic aniline residue. The incorporation of an unnatural amino acid that feature unique reactive side chains significantly expand the catalytic repertoire of designer enzymes. This facilitates an ideal starting […]
